So I hear from mates who still work there. Foreigners were the best part about working there :lol:

Hey Felix, I worked in EOC for years....right next to the Plating Shop :wink:

...and next to the Paint Shop too :wink:

That's where I learnt my painting skills (and I am NOT a painter by trade) :lol:

Mutant i was actually going to get the trailing arms done, but i will worry about them after the car is running and registered, its not hard to get them off, and it will save me some funds for now... Isnt the fan blade plastic??
And one of the best looking things chromed is the alternator, i think they look sweet

Hey Anton,
did you ever work in servicing in the hangars,
if so who was your leading hand.

My fan belt is metal. It was one of the hardest things to polish and coat.

Best thing for the trailing arms would be to buy the aluminium ones from Minisport S.A. if you had the money.

If i was going to buy the trailing arms from Mini sport, i might as well get the whole deal and get the rear disc brake conversion kit as well... But i have other things to splurge on first.
And mutant i think you meant your fan blade was metal not you fan belt... :lol:

Yeh, that sounds better. Typing too quick while trying to make tea and answer posts. :oops:

I think that conversion would be a fantastic idea.
